Planning a proper catch-up? Getting the whole crew together in one place is the best way to make memories, and Dorset holiday cottages provide the perfect backdrop for your next big bash. Whether you're organising a large family Christmas holiday, a long-overdue family reunion, or just need a massive space for a weekend of fun with your favourite people, we've got you covered.
Why Dorset for your big group trip
Dorset is brilliant for groups because there's always something to do, but let's be honest, the best part of a big break is the time you spend together. Imagine having a grand manor house or a spacious barn conversion all to yourselves. You’ll have big kitchens for cooking up epic feasts, massive dining tables where nobody gets left on the end, and plenty of comfy sofas for those late-night movie marathons. Because squeezing everyone around a tiny kitchen table isn't much fun, we make sure you have the space to actually relax and catch up properly.
Where to base your group celebration
If you're looking for the best spots to host your group, we have amazing options across the county. You might want to head to Weymouth for that classic coastal vibe, or perhaps Swanage is more your style for a bit of seaside fun. For those who prefer a bit more history, Lyme Regis is a fantastic choice for a big group trip, while Bridport offers a lovely mix of market town charm. If you're hoping to be near the coast but fancy a quieter spot, West Bay is well worth a look.
Everything you need for a memorable stay
We know that when you're travelling with a big group, the little extras make a huge difference. That’s why so many of our properties come with games rooms to keep the competitive spirits high, and hot tubs for when you just want to kick back with a drink. Planning a hen or stag weekend? We’ve got properties with enough room for everyone to stay under one roof, so the party doesn't have to end when you head home for the night.
Plus, we believe no family member should be left behind, so check out our dog-friendly options if you're bringing the four-legged sidekicks along. With huge gardens perfect for a summer BBQ and plenty of indoor space for everyone to spread out, you’ll find that our large holiday homes take all the stress out of planning. So, get the group chat buzzing, pick your dates, and get ready for a brilliant time in one of the most beautiful parts of the UK.
